Something Interesting on Television
I don't watch much television anymore, mostly due to a lack of time. But even if I had more time, I doubt I would watch more television - I simply don't care for much of what is broadcast on the boob tube these days. Nonetheless, sometimes I stumble across programs that do tickle my fancy.
A good example is a Hungarian show called Fölszállott a Páva, which roughly translates to The Peacock Has Taken Off (don't ask; I don't get it either). Strange name aside, the above mentioned program is essentially a competition in which contestants showcase various forms of traditional Hungarian folk song, dance, and music. The program features two competitions - one for adults and one for children.
This year, the contestants are all kids, and the performances thus far have been both charming and delightful. The two-minute clip below presents a boy and girl doing a traditional Gömör Dance (Gömör was a county that used to belong to Hungary, but is now a part of Slovakia). Enjoy!
